What is effective feedback?
The way feedback is delivered from an extrinsic source will have a bearing on whether it is effective or not.
When delivering feedback, the acronym STOVI can help you cosider the following five things:
- Source - Who provides the feedback?
- Timing - How soon after the performance is the feedback provided?
- Order - Does the coach provide the performer with positives before negatives?
- Volume - How much feedback is provided?
- Information - Does feedback include information or strategies on how to improve a weakness?
